Individual Learning Needs Provision for all The school prides itself on providing focussed support for the range of abilities of our pupils. The Learning Support Department provides individualised support for pupils during withdrawal, small group work and in-class support. The department is made up of highly skilled staff who offer a range of learning styles to improve literacy and numeracy. Pupils are assessed on entry to the school and have individual learning plans that are monitored to show progress. Special Needs Provision Support staff work in collaboration with subject teachers to ensure that individual needs are being met. The school has strong links with various external agencies and is able to call upon them as and when the need arises. Provision is made through the personal centred approach. This is within the guidelines of the Every Child Matters Agenda through inclusion. English as an Additional Language (EAL) Newly arrived pupils are assessed and are supported by experienced staff who are able to meet their individual needs. Pupils are inducted into life at Park View School which enables them to settle quickly and achieve their full potential. Gifted and Talented Our gifted and talented students are identified by the quality of their work in class and regular testing. The school offers a range of master classes in various curriculum areas through the city’s Aim Higher Programme. “Support for the most vulnerable students is very effective and successfully targeted at those with particular difficulties.” Ofsted
Work Based Learning Work Based Learning is one of the guided choice routes pupils can select in Year 9 to study in Year 10 & 11. The courses offered vary from year to year. At present we have pupils studying Catering, Hair and Beauty, Construction, KS4 Apprenticeship in Retail, Salon Services and Motor Vehicle Studies. All these courses are very practical and the qualification gained will be a vocational qualification rather than GCSE. All the courses offered take place one day a week. These courses take place at various Educational or Training Institutions. This means students must be prepared to travel to their placement. Students who select these courses do not select any option subjects for KS4. Pupils taking these courses must achieve at least 95% attendance as well as completing all course work and passing any written exams. All students taking this route will study English, Maths, Science and RE at GCSE. The students will do Citizenship and PE. They will also have to study towards an Asdan Award either at level 1 or 2 depending on their ability. Pupils taking the Work Based Learning route in Year 10 & 11 will not have to continue with these courses post 16 if they don’t wish to. All students will still have the same post 16 choices as students who follow other option routes depending on the grades they achieve in their final exams and attendance at school.
